Club PA 2.0 has arrived! If you'd like to access some extra PA content and help support the forums, check it out at patreon.com/ClubPA

The image size limit has been raised to 1mb! Anything larger than that should be linked to. This is a HARD limit, please do not abuse it.

Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Because, y'know, our 3 ships are totally a bigger threat to the game than the heavily fortified Jol-Nar sitting on over a score of trade goods and with scorable objectives waiting for them.

You take the invasion and annexation of yor planets too personally, friend Space Lions!

You also seem confused about the concepts of heavy fortification and friendship vis a vis attractiveness of invasion.

We are not your "friends." Perhaps this is another translation error? We do not attack our friends. Indeed, we protect them. Typically from you, now that we think of it.

We have not attacked a single occupied place during this entire galactic Era.

Apologies for the mis-translation... We are new to this "diplomacy" thing, and assumed that we should treat you with courtesy despite recent events being less than amicable between our two races.

What form of address could we use to make you more at ease? Our other choices involved "trash talking" and "mud slinging", and we were informed by our recently established diplomatic corps that neither would be seen as civilized. We can try these instead if you prefer... you... "pussy cat"? Did we do that right?

Anti-Intellectual Revolution - After a player researches a technology, they must destroy 1 of their non-fighter ships.Minister of Industry - Held by N'orr. When the owner of this card places a space dock in a system, their units in that system may use their Production abilities.

I also realized I messed up the Gen Synthesis retrieval timing: where I thought it was at the end of the round, the new units are actually placed at the start of the player's next turn. So that's been back-edited into all the previous maps from Action Phase Update 2 forwards. Start of Status Phase post coming in soon.
